    HOD already supports this kind of functional requirement.
    refer to previous comments.

    This RFE will be closed in 4 weeks. If you have a strong requirement of this feature, please revert.

    This request lacks sufficient information for us to evaluate it. It might not be considered further until it has been revised and clarified. Any update to this, please?

    Based on the requirement it looks like you are looking for domain based login which is already supported by HOD.
    Please check on this and let us know. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSS9FA_13.0.0/com.ibm.hod.doc/doc/install/install.html#wq68

    HOD already has support for end users automatically logging on using their Windows user name. Per the product help: "Users must be logged on to a Windows domain to use this option. The Host On-Demand logon panel will not be displayed and the Windows username will be used as the Host On-Demand user ID. Users are from Windows domain. Users must be from this Windows domain or they will be denied access to Host On-Demand. You can specify multiple domains by listing all the domains separated by commas."

    Is the above the type of single sign on that is being requested? If so, we can close this request. If not, please clarify further.
